And you forgot "catch can".

I'm running:
- Hawk DTC-60 Front
- Hawk DTC-30 Rear
- ATE Type 200 Brake Fluid

The camber in this car has me frustrated because I'm used to bigger numbers. In the couple of races I did WC I ran almost 4 in the front. This car I get -1.4 Camber front and -0.6 Camber Rear but apparently that's about right with oem equipment. Hopefully will get some more when I install the suspension.

Sure you can, ask me how I know. Depends on power, grip level, ambient temp and the driver course.

Sidebar: I wonder if we should create a sticky for noob/beginner track prep. No Xida, Hoosiers or Aero, just the very basics to buy a Craigslist car and do your first couple of track days.

In a bone stock Miata as specified? Sounds like quite the accomplishment.

Bone stock NA6 with A/C and some stickier OEM replacement tires on stock wheels on a 105° day on a long SoCal autocross course, absolutely.

You really hate me don't cha?

Our regions don't let you run AC because water.

And no, i really don't. I'm not sure why it's coming across that way or why you seem to be more sensitive about it than others? I think you're great, settle down. <3 I just avoid replying/talking to those people that i've developed any sort of discontent with. We're good. 10/10 would buy a beer for.

I think this would be helpful to many. Especially now with used Billy's being so cheap, making a "beginner" HPDE car is as simple and as cheap as ever.

Fair play, but you're not exactly the "average" driver around here haha. Especially not a newer AutoX/HPDE driver.

Friends don't let friends drive na6 brakes.

Thus why I included the YMMV for driver.

This forum took a turn about 6 years ago, becoming far more racer oriented. There were always a few smart gear head types here but they were often drowned out by the hoards of members with very little knowledge or experience.
That situation has flipped so the legacy members that contribute the bulk of the data driven info stored here suppress the noise. So MT has become the How To Fast Miata bible, for better or worse. It's wearing to have to field
those same questions. But we are all driven to strengthen and expand the community, not exclude. So we either complain and do nothing or start the long process of collating and indexing the info stored here.

Personally, I have a strong allergic reaction when anyone in my sphere complains but does not offer a solution. Do something or shut up. I complain about the indexing thing myself so it's time to start work on it. Anyone here that cares to help will be welcome.
Jacob's "first track day" is a good place to start.

Andrew Kidd ran NA6 brakes on Theseus at Laguna Seca once. True story.

Suboptimal is a term that comes to mind.

Agreed. I thank God for the runoff on the first turn onto the inside track at Pocono.

I was honestly surprised mine held up at Pocono raceway. Double infield and hitting 105 down the back straight (in an N/A NA6!). Stoptech sport pads. Though that run from 40-105 probably gave them enough time to cool.

Truth be known; this was after the car was turbo-ed and with two drivers REALLY pushing it. The next week Paul showed up with a set of sport brakes for it.
